It may be sacrosanct to some fishy posters but involving AB in formal a consultative role may undermine AL. Listening to Buckley on the radio I doubt whether he would be one to compromise his principles for anyone. If AL wants to play the same style then great, otherwise the odd phone call or chat may be a better option.


Im of that opinion too, he's too strong-willed, headstrong or whatever  to work smoothly with nine times out of ten I'd say.

Quoted from GollyGTFC

Limbrick was the assistant manager for a manager who ultimately failed. He has to take part of the blame for the situation we continue to find ourselves in.



Yes, but at the end of the day it's the managers say which is final. The assistant must toe the line or cause a grievance.

If Jolley was absolutely convinced we always needed to cater for opposition with uber-detailed mind-boggling presentations and sessions I don't think his assistant thinking we needed to get back to basics would be received very well. Perhaps he said it once but got a pretty blunt response.

We can see straight away that Limbrick trying to do things differently, and I'd say, the right way.

Whilst I agree Rik, not sure of many assistants who have replaced their previous boss and gone on to be successful. Get ready for a deluge of examples!!!!!!

Sounds bizarre but it would probably help AL if a number of players had turned on MJ personally.  That could then provide some distance between himself and the 'previous regime'.

We just need to get someone appointed no game this weekend would have meant the new manager would have had a decent period on the training ground before the next league game. Looks like procrastination from JF?

Limbrick’s very personable and I wouldn’t be too bothered if he stays as an assistant as clearly he has potential but we need a new face at the helm ideally someone with some connections to bring no more than 3 or 4 new faces in during Jan.

Jolley would still be manager today if he hadn’t been caught out having a dig at Fenty’s budget. 100%.


Perhaps but he was running out of time and ideas from a footballing perspective very quickly.

And I was of that opinion that we needed a clean sweep with entirely fresh management in, especially after Newport when it appeared the players associated him with the Jolley regime it was was rumoured they unhappy with.

And it easy to cite numerous sources of the assistant not stepping up to the plate, or a cheap option from within ultimately failing at GTFC.

However, he has managed before, doing well before his hands were tied and best player's at Woking sold from under his feet, he speaks well and sensical and it now looks like we have a plan with the player's playing for him.

So I don't know if he the answer or if there a better option out there, but if there isn't I'm pretty sure he can steady the ship. Perhaps a long-term interim role till end of season, or a three month rolling contract or something? Ben Davies by his side is a positive thing too.

We got a tough tough run of games so it's a baptism of fire for him, the results, LLD on paper don't look good but performance wise it looks like he steadying the ship and getting us organised and we not a total in disarray shambles anymore.

I actually agree Rik. Hearing from Limbrick and watching the last two games he certainly deserves 10-12 games, providing performances and hopefully results stay on an upward curve.
